I'd do it now- or try miracle grow. Its early enough in the summer that another round of tomatoes will grow and have time to ripen before fall frost, and by the time they're big enough to rot it will have gotten into the plant.

He might have just needed to give it more than he did. give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

He uses Miracle Grow all summer long. He's looking for the bone meal with 30% calcium like he bought a few years ago, but all he can find right now is 15%.

i HATE pulling weeds!! At my previous house there were few weeds.
Here in the woods there are thousands and I can't keep up with them.
Yes, I put down that fabric underneath the mulch. The weeds poke right through it.
I have some creeping thing with flowers that is attempting to take over my borders, along with those nasty thistles.
I wonder what that creeping thing is? It's really kinda pretty in its own way....

Click on the link that gwp posted that's giving him fits. D'name says she's got the same thing. See if it's what you have.

It's really pretty, except I'm afraid it will kill my shrubs because it crawls all over them.

A notorious perennial weed, impossible to get rid of. Forms strings of heart-shaped leaves on twining stems, which can work their way up into trees or over hedges. Large white trumpet-shaped flowers in summer. Spreads by means of woody rhizomes which get deep underground, and any tiny bit left in the soil will grow into a new plant in no time.
